Pattern formation in biological, chemical and physical problems has received considerable attention, with much attention paid to dissipative systems. For example, the Ginzburg--Landau equation is a normal form that describes pattern…
This paper presents an introduction to phase transitions and critical phenomena on the one hand, and nonequilibrium patterns on the other, using the Ginzburg-Landau theory as a unified language. In the first part, mean-field theory is…
Dynamical formation of entanglement is studied for quantum chaotic bi-particle systems. We find that statistical properties of the Schmidt eigenvalues for strong chaos are well described by the random matrix theory of the Laguerre ensemble.…

In this paper we prove the nonlinear orbital stability of a large class of steady states solutions to the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) system with a Poisson interaction potential. These steady states are obtained as minimizers of an energy…
We discuss the static and kinetic properties of a Ginzburg-Landau spherically symmetric $O(N)$ model recently introduced (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 75}, 2176, (1995)) in order to generalize the so called Phase field model of Langer. The…
The formation of patterns in driven systems has been studied extensively, and their emergence can be connected to a fine balance of instabilities and stabilization mechanisms. While the early phase of pattern formation can be understood on…
The Typical Medium Theory provides conceptually the simplest order parameter description of Anderson localization by self-consistently calculating the geometrically-averaged (typical) local density of states (LDOS). Here we show how spatial…
Many dynamical systems of different complexity, e.g. 1D logistic map, the Lorentz equations, or real phenomena, like turbulent convection, show chaotic behaviour. Despite huge differences, the dynamical scenarios for these systems are…

A chaotic dynamics generalizing the Verhulst, Ricker dynamics and containing a new parameter is introduced. It is established that with the value of this parameter approaching the fine-structure constant the chaos in the system is…
We study a complex Ginzburg-Landau (GL) type model related to fluid instabilities in the boundary of magnetized toroidal plasmas (called edge-localized modes) with a prescribed shear flow on the Neumann boundary condition. We obtain the…
We consider a class of singularly perturbed 2-component reaction-diffusion equations which admit bistable traveling front solutions, manifesting as sharp, slow-fast-slow, interfaces between stable homogeneous rest states. In many example…
Chaotic dynamics is always characterized by swarms of unstable trajectories, unpredictable individually, and thus generally studied statistically. It is often the case that such phase-space densities relax exponentially fast to a limiting…
One of the fundamental tasks in the study of dynamical systems is the discrimination between regular and chaotic behavior. Over the years several methods of chaos detection have been developed. Some of them, such as the construction of the…
We use extreme value statistics to study the dynamics of coarsening in aggregation-fragmentation models which form condensates in the steady state. The dynamics is dominated by the formation of local condensates on a coarsening length scale…
Laboratory experiments point out the existence of patterns made of alternately laminar and turbulent oblique bands in plane Couette flow in its way to/from turbulence as the Reynolds number R is varied. Many previous theoretical and…
